No Blu-Ray format for game discs? I tell you this MS would be fools to leave out Blu-Ray in their next system. DVD is a dying format and game developers will not be happy.
DVD holds only 6.8Gb of data per disc. Blu-Ray holds 50Gb per disc.

The Blu-Ray is very very very slow, and that's why you have installation of games in your HD.

Not true at all, that's why various of the PS3's technically most impressive games like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Killzone 2 did no even have an install at all.

It's easy to imagine a PS3 game with a minimal install of a few 100 MBs, streaming all the data on a dual layer Blu-Ray disc within the length of a modern game without any loading interruptions at all (actually in this regard the loading speed of Blu-Ray can even be considered overkill as the entire content can easily be streamed in just a few hours).

Like my earlier example, you could have one huge level continuously streaming in new data taking up the full capacity of a full DL Blu-Ray disc.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
